Please don't slander someone just because you think it's cool. The french are a strange people to be sure, but they could still blow your ass to kingdom come. ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:16 am ----------------------------------- Or, you know, search Napoleon Bonaparte. Did you know that all of these are French words: aide-de-camp, bivouac, brigade, cartouche, Colonel, combat, corps, détente, enfilade, envoy, infantry, lieutenant, mêlée, pilot, pioneer, platoon, sergeant, sortie, terrain, trophy and volley. ----------------------------------- codemage Fri Apr 28, 2006 8:53 am ----------------------------------- Together with the Germans, the French ancestors overthrew the western Roman empire. Charlemagne greatly expanded the French territory through conquest. He was called "Charles the Great" for a reason. The French later sacked the eastern (Byzantine) empire in one of the crusades. Joan of Arc crushed the British armies and threw them permanently off the continent. ...and then there was that Napoleon guy who he pretty much took over all of Europe. The only reason we all aren't speaking french is that the rest of Europe got its act together and took him out at Waterloo. Later, France helped the United States overthrow British rule. Ironically, it's the US that keeps pushing uneducated, ignorant sentiment slike yours that everything French is loserish, useless and cowardly. ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Apr 28, 2006 9:50 am ----------------------------------- and gay too! ----------------------------------- Blade Fri Apr 28, 2006 10:18 am Re: French army wins? ----------------------------------- HINT: go to google and type in French army vicories and hit I'm feeling lucky :lol http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/victories.html incase you guys didnt catch it, this is what he was talking about.. ----------------------------------- md Fri Apr 28, 2006 1:12 pm ----------------------------------- yes; clearly he didn't *acutally* run teh search... http://www.google.ca/search?q=french+military+victories&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Apr 28, 2006 1:42 pm ----------------------------------- ever hured of google bombing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb ----------------------------------- TokenHerbz Fri Apr 28, 2006 5:33 pm ----------------------------------- LMAO: i got this from BLADES link French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French. its like the only one french won HAHAHAHA!

Reading what other people write instead of just guessing is not only rude but kinda makes replying pointless. ----------------------------------- do_pete Sat Apr 29, 2006 10:11 am ----------------------------------- Reading what other people write instead of just guessing is not only rude but kinda makes replying pointless. Huh? I'm guessing it's supposed to say "Just guessing instead of reading what other people write.." ----------------------------------- md Sat Apr 29, 2006 1:44 pm ----------------------------------- Yes... that is indeed what I meant. Reading people's posts is considerate. To not read them is to be rude.
